HC Deb 19 March 1940 vol 358 cc1812-3
73. Mr. J. Griffiths

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to the suspension of publication of official statistical information, particularly those relating to trade and navigation, he will consider ways and means by which Members can be supplied with such information as they desire?

Sir A. Duncan

The publication of certain official statistics has been suspended for reasons which will be obvious to the hon. Member, and it is clearly impracticable to publish such statistics in answer to Questions in the House. If any hon. Member wishes for particular information regarding oversea trade, I shall be glad to consider whether it is possible to give it.
